Make-your-own bagged popcorn
Today’s quick tip: No need to waste money on pre-bagged popcorn filled with artificial butter and too much salt. Buy the corn at your local health food store and microwave it in a plain brown paper bag. Healthy and cheap!

Household Uses for Cooking Oil Spray
To dry nail polish quickly, spray wet nails with cooking oil
Discourage swallows. Barn and cliff swallows can be a lot of fun to watch-but not when they set up housekeeping where you'd rather they didn't, like in the eaves of your house or under your front porch. To say a gentle "Please build elsewhere," first remove any nesting material from the spot (as long as it hasn't already been filled with eggs, that is!) Then coat the cubbyhole's surface with cooking oil spray. When the birds try to rebuild the nest, the new material will slide right out.
Make digging easier. Just give your shovel, trowel, or spading fork a spritz of cooking oil spray every now and then. Those blades'll glide through the soil!
De-squeak hinges. They're annoying, all right, but indoors or out, there's a fast, easy solution: Just give the noisy things a shot of cooking oil spray. Ahhh-blessed silence!
Loosen a screw. don't you hate it when you have to struggle....and struggle, to get a stubborn screw or bolt loose? Well, struggle no more! Instead, blast the blasted thing with cooking oil spray, wait a few minutes to let it penetrate, and then have at it. It should come right out..
Lose the Labels.
To remove adhesive labels and tags from plastic or metal surfaces, coat the tag thoroughly with cooking oil spray. Let it sit for 5 minutes or so, then slide it off with a plastic scraper or one of those numerous (but nonfunctional) credit cards that bands send you in the mail.
To get a paper label unstuck from wooden furniture, saturate the paper with coooking oil spray, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, and gently peel it off.
There are probably many more uses for Non-Stick Cooking Spray than the ideas listed here. If you have a use that isn’t mentioned above, please share it with us in comments..

10 Meals Under $2
How much does it cost to make a meal at home? It may be less than you think. We calculated the costs of 10 popular meals at regular prices, not counting coupons. Good news - not only is it possible to make a many favorite meals for $2 per serving, but some meals are closer to $1 each!
There were some surprises. Plain hamburgers buns cost considerably more than a couple slices of bread. On the other hand, at less than 5 cents per serving, peanut butter is practically free! A $1.49 jar of peanut butter holds 36 servings – enough to help keep the most serious penny pinchers in sack lunches for a month. And no surprise: Chips add little nutrition but cost more than the hamburger buns.
Here’s what it takes to make common meals at home:
Egg Salad Sandwhich 1.50
Turkey sandwich with iced tea and a banana 1.94
Fish sticks, French fries, coleslaw, and iced tea 1.94
Lunch salad with cheese, croutons, and chicken 1.89
Hamburger with potato chips and soda 1.89
Bagel and cream cheese, coffee, and grapes 1.75
Chicken enchiladas with cheese, rice, refried beans 1.60
Grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup and cucumber 1.54
Chicken salad 1.50
Homemade macaroni and cheese 1.15
Peanut butter sandwich with milk and a banana .78
To lower costs even more, use coupons, buy in bulk and make meals completely from scratch. Those hamburger buns would cost pennies to bake yourself, and they’d be fresher, too. We used a packaged coleslaw kit, canned refried beans, and bagged corn tortillas – all of which could you could make for even less.
Knowing what it costs to prepare a meal at home, even reasonably price restaurant meals look expensive by comparison. You can make a whole meal with coffee for less than it costs to buy coffee at the drive-through. Or you can pack a turkey sandwich that costs less than the tip you’d leave at a restaurant!
Try calculating the cost of some of your favorite meals. It’s encouraging to know how cheaply you can cook when you need to – and how much you’re really saving when you take time to prepare food yourself.
